A

skin and appendages (hair, nails, glands), subcutaneous tissue

sensory organ; body’s outer/protective covering & container

38
Q

skeletal system function

A

bones and cartilage

provides shape/support for body and protects organs

39
Q

articular system function

propel/conduct blood thru body to transport nutrients, oxygen, hormones to cells and remove waste

44
Q

lymphatic system function

A

lymphatic vessels

withdraws excess tissue fluid from interstitial fluid –> filters thru nodes –> returns to blood stream

45

46
Q

digestive system function

A

ingestion, mastication, deglutition, digestion, absorption of food and eliminate waste

47
Q

gonads, ducts, genitalia

produce oocytes and sperm to become offspring

50
Q

endocrine system function

A

structures that excrete hormones, glands, clustered cells

secrete hormones to influence processes of the body

51
Q
